What I see on your bike
Hi Ghostrider69, Your ride looks great but just one thing gets me about this profile shot you put on the forum...everything looks lean and runs together nice visually except for the top of your handlebars. It just seems like too much stuff is up there. I have an FXD and that sort of thing drove me nuts so I took the turn signals off the bars and put them down on the forks. I don't have apes on mine but I think the long thin line of the apes gets messed up with that big bunch of stuff on the top end of your bars.
When I was up in Northern California I saw a rider come in to one of our local bars with handlebars with nothing on them at all...not even clutch and brake levers...he had installed twist type controls. Man it was clean looking! I'm not suggesting them, I don't really know anything about them but they sure made the bike look great. Well, just my humble opinion...

I think it's that dogleg in the fork-to-bars line, and all that busy-stuff atop the bars. Really did a number to my eyes on first glance; I mean, "jump out'a the bushes" startling looking...rest looks OK. $.02

I have some ideas, but remember everybody has their own style.
The fat front wheel looks like it's from a wwII bike. Handle bars have no flow to the curve, look bent.
Rear fender looks too high, like a kawasaki.
Too much tank lift and I don't like those tail lights.
Please post some new pics when you get this bucket of bolts sorted out.
Good luck,
Mike

Yeah, I like the tank lift. Thanks again AdrianVall. I don't like the taillight, front wheel, HD's idea of integrated risers, front turn signal location or the rear fender. I gues its time to get to work changing this bitch up. Might try to go with a wideglide front end or a springer
The tank lift looks great, a chrome headlight might be the answer, but I truly believe that if you pulled the apes back about a foot that would settle any problems you have with the appearance, but that is just my option.
